Patrick thought that she was drunk and unconscious when she said that she wouldn't quit.
"I'm going to work."
Early the next morning, Christina got dressed in the cloakroom and took the car key to go out.
Patrick frowned and pulled her. "Where are you going?"
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I won't quit. I've decided to continue working at Shepherd's company."
Other people had to think about how the boss was when they chose their job. Christina didn't need to bother. She could just go directly. Anyway, Shepherd said that he didn't want her to be a parasite.
"Haven't you run wildly enough with Brianna yesterday?" Patrick sounded a little angry. He didn't want Christina to work in that company.
"I'm going to work. It has nothing to do with Brianna. I just think it's better for me to stay there. I'm not familiar with other companies' employees, and Shepherd and Eric are there too..."
Christina was frank, but when she mentioned Eric, she noticed that Patrick looked a little unhappy, so she stopped talking for a second.
However, she still insisted, "If you want me to work on the charity project with those women, I will go, too. But I can't leave this job for the time being."
But Christina would be very busy if she needed to do two jobs.
She would be too busy to take care of her family.
Patrick really felt annoyed and stared at Christina.
Christina felt a little guilty when Patrick looked at her without saying a word. She confessed to him, "I, I had a dream yesterday. When I was young, my mother coldly chased Derek away and told him not to play with me anymore..."
Derek hadn't earned elders' love since he was a child. In their opinion, he was too strange and reserved. Besides, he was a foolish bastard of the Fisher family. Therefore, almost all parents did not like their children to get too close to such a strange person.
Christina did not know why she suddenly dreamed of her childhood. In fact, she was not very close to her mother, her dream last night impressed her very much.
Patrick looked at Christina even more deeply, and he tried to suppress his complicated emotions. Christina's childhood was something he could never interfere with.
"Derek has been sick recently. I can't leave him alone."
Christina knew that Patrick didn't like to hear about her past, so she just said it simply.
"How about the twins and me?" He asked.
Christina looked up to Patrick in surprise. Usually, Patrick would stay silent when she mentioned Derek. She did not expect him to raise such a question.
"You and the twins won't be alone. There are also family doctors and so many servants at home."
Christina was very uncomfortable being stared at as if she had done something wrong. She turned her head slightly to avoid Patrick's gaze and whispered, "Derek is different from you. He has been alone since he was a child."
In order to convince Patrick, Christina told him a secret and almost cried.
"Derek tried to commit suicide when he was a child. He was not afraid nor painful. He had no sense of the world, so he said he didn't know what he lived for... I rushed over and pressed his wrist. Then, I called Larry to send him to the hospital, forcing him to swear that he would never do such a stupid thing again, or I wouldn't talk to him anymore."
Compared to Christina's excitement, Patrick was calm.
"You mean that he lives for you?" Patrick murmured as if he were talking to himself.
"You know that it is not as what you think between Derek and me. He is like my brother!" Christina got angry suddenly and felt that Patrick was too heartless. He had no pity for Derek at all.
"Do you consider yourself as one of the Hopkins family?" Patrick asked so calmly.
Christina looked at Patrick in a daze. Patrick looked into her eyes and asked directly, "Why did you ask Lucy to investigate Brianna?"
Christina felt awkward because Patrick found the truth, but she was not ashamed. Instead, she got angry and shouted, "You know! You know everything!"
